    Default Fixing of the rifles & Emblem

    Hi Guy's,

    Has anyone of you ever saw a broken or heavy worn badge so you could see how the rifles with the emblem were fixed to the enameled target. I suppose they used a single rivet that always has been covered by the pin plate?

    Regards, Wim

    Good question Wim. I've no idea to be honest. I recently saw the diamond/rifles part of a badge for sale somewhere but can't remember where that was. If I find it again I'll get some pictures up.

    Quick edit. There's a chance we might find a damaged badge on one of the detectorist sites that will give us a look at that area. Just been looking at a couple of sites and here's one that is close but sadly not close enough. I'll keep looking though.

    Looks like soldered to me Paul. Great research sacrificing an old badge for the proof.

    THE ONLY THING HOT IS THE SUN WHERE YOU ARE pat main point being is there's no sign of a rivet connection a real hatchet job for sure.

    About glue: I assume that period metal glue is out of the question: that such a thing simply diden't exist back then, no?

    Soldering them into place looks like a very believable thing here.
